HELEN MIRREN AND GWEN STEFANI AT 54
Helen Mirren, 78, has been vocal about aging in Hollywood, especially her rejection of the term anti-aging. “Anti-ageing pisses me off so much! Whether you’re 25 or 45, you look great for who you are – not for how old you are,” she declared.

The movie star also doesn’t subscribe to beauty standards in the entertainment industry. She expressed her disregard for adhering to any rules, noting that she loves makeup and appreciates how mascara could alter her appearance, a trait she attributed to her acting profession.

Helen enjoys wearing unconventional attire and allowing her hair to remain natural, rather than feeling obligated to style it constantly. “I grew my hair long deliberately because I knew that was deemed inappropriate as you get older,” she explained.
